Podcasts about Companies House

James is joined by Dr Tommy Perkins, co-founder of Medics' Money, days after he and co-founder Dr Ed Cantelo sold the business outright to Pastest. Tommy tells the whole story: founding Medics' Money on the day his first daughter was born, the free tax rebate guide that has now saved doctors close to £80m, and the deliberate decision to bet on email and podcasting long before either was fashionable. It is a masterclass in leading with value, building a genuine community rather than a mailing list to sell to, and earning the trust of a hard to reach audience.Then they get into the exit itself. Why sell a profitable, bootstrapped, 100% owned business at all, why Pastest (a family business that has supported doctors through exams since 1972), and what the next two years look like for Tommy inside a bigger company. Tommy also gives a refreshingly candid, practical walkthrough of how anyone can estimate a private company's sale price using Companies House data, typical industry margins and EBITDA multiples. James returns the favour with the real numbers behind Healthtech Pigeon and where SomX is placing its bets.Along the way: the doctor creator economy and the four levels of monetisation, why vertically integrated creators win, how AI now lets a two person team do the work of ten, the death of legacy media and the rise of niche distribution, the case for building in public (and why Tommy didn't), and why he is still practising medicine two and a half days a week through all of it.Connect with Tommy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommy-perkins-138864149Learn more about Medics' Money: https://medicsmoney.co.ukMedics' Money x Pastest: https://www.pastest.com/pages/medics-moneyApply to be a guest: www.thehealthtechpodcast.comSubscribe to Healthtech Pigeon: www.healthtechpigeon.comGet in touch with James: www.jamessomauroo.comThis podcast was brought to you by SomX - https://somx.healthResources:Medics' Money - https://medicsmoney.co.ukPastest acquires Medics' Money (BusinessCloud) - https://businesscloud.co.uk/news/edtech-pastest-acquires-financial-platform-medics-money/Pastest - https://www.pastest.comCompanies House - https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.ukGP Bullhound - https://www.gpbullhound.com

John Toon is joined by Alastair Barlow and Vipul Sheth of Advancetrack for the accounting tech and fintech news that actually matters. They open on Cortea, the Berlin audit AI startup that has raised over £10m from Dawn Capital, with Larry Bradley, the former global head of audit at KPMG, in as an angel investor. It sells Audit Quality Agents that check reports, disclosure notes and financial statements before sign-off. John is not convinced that is where audits actually fail, and reckons any time saved gets sold straight back out as more audit work. Alastair makes the point that sets up the whole episode: vendors are taking more and more of the workflow, but nobody is taking the liability. You do 99.9% of the checks this month, then 99.9% of that next month, and one day you look up and you are barely checking anything. Then HMRC's timely payments consultation, which would move income tax self assessment towards in-year collection through payroll from April 2029. John thinks the outrage is misplaced, on the grounds that the money was never the client's to spend. Alastair counters that a real working capital squeeze is coming for businesses that have grown used to holding the cash. Vipul settles it with a story about a Range Rover on the drive. Six banks and UK Finance are working on a voluntary digital verification service, letting customers prove their name, age and address from inside their banking app. It could take a lot of friction out of client onboarding, if the regulators get behind it. It also raises the liability question again, because somebody has to carry the can when the bank has your client's old address. On e-invoicing, 2029 is looking crowded. MTD, e-invoicing, timely payments and Companies House reform are all landing in the same window, and John wants VAT simplification to come as part of the deal. He also asks the question nobody has answered: when you receive an e-invoice and it is wrong, what actually happens next? Also covered: Digits deepens its partnerships with Ignition, Karbon and Reach Reporting, which Alastair reads as a signal it wants to work with firms rather than around them. Croner Intelligence goes on general release, built only on Croner's own decades of guidance, which opens up a good argument about what a moat even is now the barrier to building software has collapsed. AccountsIQ and GoCardless launch a native integration. Socket adds Forms. And the ICAEW rounds up AI agents behaving badly, including the coding agent that deleted a car rental firm's entire database and put them out of action for a week.

In this essential Part 1 of our series on Estate Reclamation, we welcome back Russell Paul Arthur, a certified practitioner of sovereign law and the creator of the Grace Sovereignty Academy. Russell explains the lawful procedure of reclaiming your estate—the net worth of everything you own, earn, and owe—back from the control of the Crown Commonwealth. We explore the deception of property registration, the reality of the "public estate," and how the "citizen" functions as a legal franchise that keeps your assets in bondage. This episode provides the foundational knowledge needed to transition your assets from public control to private sovereign authority. ⏱️ Complete Chapter Points & Timestamps 0:03 Welcome to the Awakening Podcast and the Sovereign Man Podcast 0:36 Russell Paul Arthur's Bio and Credentials 1:05 Welcome Back, Russell 1:17 Today's Presentation: Estate Reclamation Explained 2:04 Disclaimer and Advisory Statement 4:15 What Exactly is an Estate?

The long-derided corporate registry is finally coming into its own as a central player in confronting the UK's role in global illicit finance. When the UK government opened its company register – Companies House – to public scrutiny in 2015, campaigners and journalists cheered. But as everyone dug into the data this revealed, the extent to which the register had become a central tool in global corruption, kleptocracy and criminality became clear; and the fact that Companies House had almost no powers to scrutinise, verify or exploit the data it had gathered confirmed everyone's worst fears, a position that was inexcusable. In this latest episode of the Suspicious Transaction Report, host Tom Keatinge is joined by Matt Pennell, Head of Intelligence at Companies House, to explore how the registry is being transformed from a library for unverified information – from all-comers in the world, and that it was obliged to accept – to an increasingly valuable intelligence tool in the fight against illicit finance in the UK and around the world.

Is your accounting tech stack becoming "Accountable" or just more confusing?  From AI agents that hunt through your inbox to the battle over mid-market marketing, the latest episode of the #DigiToolsinAccrualWorld podcast is packed with the insights you need to navigate the noise. Here's what we're breaking down this next week: The Main Stories FreeAgent's Bank-Led CIS: We explore how FreeAgent is tackling the MTD for Income Tax headache by allowing CIS transactions directly from bank coding.  As Lara Manton C.MICB puts it, most subcontractors don't care about complex domestic reverse charges - they just care about the money in. This could be a massive win for reducing the admin burden. Fathom's New AI Commentary:

Tom Herbert opens the podcast with two tech stories from Companies House and HMRC. First, he unpacks a security flaw at Companies House that left confidential details linked to more than five million companies exposed, explaining what happened, how Companies House responded and how serious the breach was. He then turns to HMRC's decision to reintroduce multi-factor authentication for agents from June, following a series of cyberattacks on agent accounts, looking at why the measure was introduced and later withdrawn, why it is now returning, and the general reaction. Richard Hattersley then tackles one of the biggest questions in the profession's M&A boom: what is the endgame for private equity-backed firms? He explores the possible exit routes, from sales to larger private equity houses and further consolidation, to initial public offerings, outside buyers such as banks or tech vendors, or even a wave of management buyouts if private equity interest collapses. The team weighs up each one and how realistic it may be. Matthew Ord closes the episode with news that the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has set out plans for what it calls a major evolution of its audit supervisory model, following the scrapping of the audit reform bill in January. He examines what is being proposed, when changes could take effect, and whether this latest attempt at reform has a genuine chance of improving audit oversight. The team shares their views on whether it will lead to meaningful change.

Join Maddy Playle, Peter Scargill and Lewis Porteous to discuss a varied week in the world of horseracing. The panel start by unpacking Dan Skelton's remarkable £4 million prize-money achievement and consider what will be next as the trainer hunts down his first championship title. A glowing report from Aidan O'Brien saw Albert Einstein shoot to 2,000 Guineas favouritism last week, but Peter believes the market has overreacted. The team also discuss O'Brien's powerful squad for the upcoming Flat season.The team unpack why declining foal crops, affordability checks and tax rises are points of concern for British racing, with Tattersalls airing their worries in Companies House documents last week.Finally, anticipation is rising ahead of Constitution Hill's second Flat start at Kempton on Wednesday. Lewis disagrees with Matt Chapman's belief that Ryan Moore is a bad jockey booking and the trio discuss what the future will hold for the public's favourite horse.

Let's start with what we finished on for a change: the Apple MacBook Neo, in the flesh. Jon Honeyball proposes it as the Hot Hardware of the Week, but not without opposition...Also this week, Barry explains what you need to know about Alexa+, which landed in the UK this week (you may want to mute your Echo!).

Companies House identity verification is now a mandatory requirement for directors and persons with significant control (PSCs). If you run a company in the UK, this is no longer something you can put off for later. It is now part of the compliance landscape for businesses, charities, and social enterprises.In this episode, we explain why these rules were introduced, what the deadlines mean for existing companies, and most importantly how you can complete the process smoothly without unnecessary stress.We also explain how our team at I Hate Numbers can help verify your identity and ensure everything is correctly linked to your Companies House records.Why Identity Verification Was IntroducedFor many years, the UK company register allowed individuals to form companies with very few identity checks. While that made it easy for entrepreneurs to start businesses, it also created opportunities for fraud, hidden ownership, and misuse of company structures.As a result, the government introduced the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act. One of the key changes is the requirement for identity verification for company directors and persons with significant control.The purpose is simple. Companies House wants to ensure that every person listed on the register is a genuine individual responsible for the company they are connected to.Important Deadlines for Directors and PSCsThe new rules officially came into force on 18 November 2025. Since then, anyone forming a new company must verify their identity before they can even begin the registration process.For existing companies, there is currently a transition period.Directors must complete identity verification before submitting their next confirmation statement. If verification has not been completed, Companies House may reject the filing.For persons with significant control who are not directors, the verification window is triggered by the month of their birth.The 14-Day PSC WindowIf you are a PSC but not a director, your verification deadline is linked to your birth month.From the first day of that month, you have 14 days to complete the identity verification process.This staggered system helps Companies House avoid millions of people verifying their identity at the same time.However, it also means you need to stay alert to ensure your deadline is not missed.What Happens After You VerifyOnce your identity has been successfully verified, you receive a personal verification code.This code becomes your permanent Companies House identifier. The important point is that you only need to complete identity verification once.If you hold multiple roles across different organisations, the same personal code will apply to all of them.However, if verification has not been completed before filing a confirmation statement, Companies House may reject the filing and flag the company for non-compliance.How Identity Verification Can Be CompletedOption 1: Complete It YourselfYou can verify your identity directly through the GOV.UK login system.This usually involves uploading identification, completing a facial recognition check, and confirming your details through the government portal.For some people, this process takes only a few minutes.However, many business owners find the process frustrating if documents are rejected, technology fails, or identification cannot be verified immediately.Option 2: Use an Authorised Corporate Service ProviderThe alternative is to complete identity verification through an authorised corporate service provider (ACSP).At I Hate Numbers, we are registered as an authorised provider with Companies House. This means we can verify identities on behalf of directors and PSCs and submit the verification directly to the register.Rather than navigating the process yourself, we take care of:• verifying identification documents• performing the necessary identity checks• submitting verification to Companies House• ensuring your personal verification code is correctly linked to all your rolesFor many business owners this removes the stress of dealing with the system themselves and ensures everything is done correctly.Why Many Business Owners Use Our ServiceMany directors choose to complete verification through us because they want peace of mind that the process has been handled properly.This service is particularly helpful if you:• run multiple companies• live outside the UK• have a complex company structure• prefer professional support handling complianceOur team ensures that your Companies House records remain compliant and that your identity verification status remains correct across your roles.If you would like support completing your identity verification, our team is happy to help. Simply get in touch through our contact page and we can guide you through the process and ensure everything is submitted correctly.Many directors find that having professional support saves time, reduces frustration, and provides reassurance that everything has been handled properly.Episode Timecodes00:00 – Introduction to Companies House identity verification00:20 – Why identity verification was introduced01:06 – Overview of the new rules from November 202501:29 – The PSC birth month verification rule02:50 – Director deadlines and confirmation statements03:11 – Understanding the Companies House personal code03:56 – Consequences of missing verification04:36 – The two ways to verify your identity05:00 – GOV.UK self-verification explained05:21 – Using an authorised corporate service provider06:39 – Why the new rules matter for every organisation07:18 – Final advice and next stepsFurther Support

Tom Herbert opens the podcast by looking at accounting firm consolidators and the difficulty of integrating acquired practices. Following news that the sale of Xeinadin has collapsed after its private equity owners failed to land a £1bn-plus price tag, he explores Xeinadin's background and the challenges of knitting together different tech stacks, workflows and data. Drawing on his conversation with M&A specialist David Boyd, he asks whether AI can genuinely speed up this change or whether old mistakes are being repeated. In other news, it was announced that the timeline for small companies and micro entities to file their profit and loss (P&L) accounts with Companies House has been paused following stakeholder concerns. Richard Hattersley outlines what happened and whether this was expected. He reveals that many have welcomed the delay with 2027 already shaping up to be a busy year. And lastly, Matthew Ord shares his chat with Bob Horgan, FD at Central Technology who believes there's a push towards AI and automation to cut costs and free finance for more strategic work. The team questions whether these organisations have the culture, data quality and system fit to turn that promise into real value.

Being a social enterprise or Community Interest Company does not mean tax obligations disappear. In this episode, we walk through the real tax position for CICs, clearing up misunderstandings that regularly catch directors out. We cover corporation tax, VAT, payroll, grants, and how structure affects your tax exposure. What Is a Community Interest Company? A Community Interest Company is a special type of limited company created to serve the community. It sits between a traditional profit-making business and a charity. While the purpose is social or environmental, CICs are still companies and remain firmly within the UK tax system. Corporation Tax and CICs CICs pay corporation tax just like any other limited company. If trading income exceeds allowable expenses, the resulting surplus is taxable. Being values-led or not-for-profit does not remove this obligation. Corporation tax rates currently range from 19% for profits up to £50,000, rising to 25% for profits over £250,000, with marginal relief applying in between. Making a surplus is not a failure — it shows sustainability. What matters is how that surplus is managed and reinvested. VAT: A Common CIC Trap VAT frequently causes problems for Community Interest Companies. Grants and donations are usually outside the scope of VAT and do not count toward the registration threshold. However, income from selling goods or services does. If taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 over a rolling 12-month period, VAT registration becomes mandatory. Profitability is irrelevant. Voluntary registration may be possible, but charging VAT to non-VAT-registered communities can create real cost pressures. Digital systems such as Xero cloud accounting help track turnover accurately and reduce the risk of missing VAT thresholds. Employing Staff and PAYE Once a CIC employs staff, PAYE applies. This includes registering as an employer, operating payroll, deducting tax and National Insurance, and paying employer contributions. From April 2025, employer National Insurance applies once earnings exceed £5,000 per year, charged at 15%. Employment Allowance may reduce the impact, but payroll obligations remain. Freelancers, Contractors, and Risk CICs using freelancers must assess employment status correctly. The engager is responsible for determining whether someone is genuinely self-employed. This is based on control, substitution, and equipment — not personal preference. CIC Structure: Shares vs Guarantee CICs can be limited by guarantee or by shares. Guarantee-based CICs have members and reinvest all surpluses. Share-based CICs may pay dividends, but these are capped by regulation and are never tax-deductible. The structure chosen affects profit distribution, funding options, and long-term strategy. Grants and Tax Treatment Grants are a major income source for many CICs. Most grants are restricted income and recognised in line with project delivery. Unused funds are deferred rather than treated as profit. Grants usually fall outside VAT, unless linked to specific service delivery. While grants themselves may not be taxable, any surplus generated can still create tax implications. Practical Tax Planning Tips Keep Clear Records Accurate records from day one reduce risk and stress. Cloud accounting provides visibility and control. Plan for Tax Bills If a surplus arises, setting aside funds early avoids last-minute pressure. Tax is a sign of success, not failure.

It's time to be one with nature, as Priyanca D'Souza talks to us about her passion for outdoor swimming. She shares how immersing in cold water offers a transcendent experience that pulls her into the present moment, from still lakes where she floats under the sky to challenging rivers that demand complete mental focus. Priyanca explains how outdoor swimming differs fundamentally from pool swimming, and emphasizes the minimalist nature of the activity. She also discusses how she actively seeks swimming spots when traveling, praising cities like Copenhagen for integrating swimming into urban life, and notes the mental health benefits of outdoor swimming, that allow her to completely disconnect from technology. Guest BioPriyanca D'Souza (she/her) is a Senior User Researcher in the public sector, specialising in Accessibility and Inclusion.

Community Interest Companies, or CICs, are designed for businesses that want to make a difference while still being commercially sustainable. In this episode of the I Hate Numbers podcast, we explain what a CIC is, why it exists, and when it makes sense to form one.We cover the key differences between CICs and charities, the rules you must follow, and how profits are managed. Whether you are starting a social enterprise or transitioning from a limited company, this episode gives you a clear understanding of how to use a CIC structure to do good and stay financially viable.Main Topics & DiscussionWhat Is a Community Interest Company?A Community Interest Company is a special type of limited company created for social enterprises that want to use their profits and assets for public good. It combines commercial flexibility with a social mission, allowing businesses to operate with purpose while remaining financially independent.Why Choose a CIC?Unlike charities, CICs can trade freely, pay staff, and make a profit, but their assets and surplus must primarily benefit the community. The structure gives credibility to organisations that want to attract funding or contracts while showing a clear commitment to social impact.Many founders choose a CIC when they want to balance doing good with maintaining control and the ability to generate income.How CICs Differ from CharitiesCharities are regulated by the Charity Commission, while CICs are overseen by the CIC Regulator. The main distinction lies in flexibility. CICs can pay directors and distribute limited dividends, whereas charities face tighter restrictions. CICs also have simpler reporting and governance requirements compared to registered charities.Legal Requirements and OversightEvery CIC must submit an annual community interest report, explaining how its activities benefit the community. It must also file accounts with Companies House and remain transparent about how profits are used. The regulator can reject or question applications if a business's objectives do not clearly serve the public interest.When to Register as a CICRegistering as a CIC makes sense when your business has a clear social or community purpose but still operates commercially. It is ideal for projects that generate revenue while tackling social or environmental challenges. If your main focus is profit for private shareholders, a traditional limited company may be a better fit.Funding Opportunities for CICsCICs can access funding from ethical investors, social impact funds, and grants that are unavailable to standard limited companies. This makes them attractive to entrepreneurs who want to create measurable change while sustaining long-term growth.Common Pitfalls to AvoidRunning a CIC comes with responsibilities. Failing to submit community reports, misusing profits, or not keeping accurate records can lead to penalties or deregistration. Always keep clear documentation of decisions and spending to remain compliant and maintain public trust.Final ThoughtsCommunity Interest Companies offer a balanced way to combine purpose and profit. They provide the freedom to operate like a business while committing to social good. Understanding when and how to form one helps you stay compliant and credible. A well-managed CIC not only supports your mission but strengthens your long-term financial sustainability.Episode Timecodes [00:00:00] – Introduction: What is a CIC?

The UK's company formation process is fast, easy and cheap. The net result of being open to almost any business is that up to half the companies on the UK's Companies House register may have no legitimate purpose. Instead, those companies are used by fraudsters as a vital tool in scams and money laundering schemes. Many are set up using fake identities and addresses. Often, they break the reporting rules and never file accounts. And Companies House has become a honeypot for organised crime groups from around the world.In the latest episode of the Unseen Money podcast, Timur Yunusov and I are joined by dark money expert Graham Barrow, who has exposed some of the worst failings of the UK's company formation regime.Belatedly, the UK government is acting to address those failings. But will new legislation go far and fast enough? Listen to the podcast to find out.

The number of UK buy-to-let property companies listed at Companies House has soared to record levels since George Osbourne introduced his ‘Section 24’ tax bombshell on landlords. If you are stuck in the Section 24 tax trap contact me at charles@charleskelly.net to arrange a free consultation with a property tax specialist. There are now over 400,000 limited property companies registered, more than any other businesses and four times as many as fast food firms. Since 2016 there has been a fourfold rise in incorporated buy-to-let businesses, much of which is due to George Osbourne’s ‘Section 24’ tax hike on landlords. The change in the law meant that buy-to-let landlords with properties held in their own names could no longer offset mortgage interest against their rent (pre-profit gross income). Almost 700,000 properties are now held in limited companies, rather than in individual names, which has become the standard method used to buy investment property in the UK.

The UK prides itself in being open for innovative tech firms—and companies in general—to set up business. It takes only £12—and 15-20 minutes—to create a new company online.But the laxity of the country's system for new company formations has made the UK a goldmine for scammers. And the problem is getting worse: fraud, much of it digital, now accounts for over 40 per cent of all recorded crime in England and WalesIn the latest episode of Unseen Money, Timur Yunusov and I discuss a recent Financial Times article about a London-based fraud victim, Livia Giuggioli Firth, who was conned by scammers into sending £325k from her company's bank account. Instead of asking for compensation from her own bank for being a victim of an authorised push payment fraud, Ms. Giuggioli Firth took the unusual step of suing the scammers' bank in court. This forced the disclosure of the names if not of the individual scammers, but of the network of companies they used to launder the stolen money.The court case unveiled some of the principal weaknesses in the UK's system for deterring and catching fraudsters.In the podcast, we discuss:Why the UK is a heaven for digital fraudstersWhy Companies House is still making it easy for criminalsHow the fintech and AI booms have fuelled scamsWho's responsible in the UK for fighting scammers?How criminals second-guess anti-fraud systems and the need for ongoing due diligenceThe role of cryptocurrency in laundering stolen moneyShould Zuckerberg and Musk reimburse digital fraud victims?Why AI-enabled scams are certain to become more dangerousWant to join Timur and me on a future episode of Unseen Money to talk about how scammers use Companies House registrations to aid their crimes?

In this no-holds-barred episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast, Joel Stone exposes one of the biggest scams in online business today, the rise of the so-called “CEO” with no real business. From rented Lamborghinis to fake revenue claims, these self-proclaimed gurus are everywhere, selling hype instead of results.Joel breaks down how to spot the frauds, avoid the BS, and find real mentors, coaches, and business allies who actually know what they're talking about. If you're serious about growth, this episode will save you time, money, and a whole lot of frustration.Key moments:

The rollercoaster story of the battle in the US (the world's biggest global financial secrecy offender) over the implementation of a beneficial ownership register, the attempts to stop it and the (many) lessons learned from the UK's registers. The US's Corporate Transparency Act seemed to be on track. Until it wasn't... "Everything is bigger in Texas, that's what they like to say! And as we've learned, even court orders are bigger in Texas." Meanwhile, we take a look at UK company registration progress, since the days when "you could just set up a company for 12 pounds and say you were Mickey Mouse with a shareholder Donald Duck and no one asked any questions." (Spoiler alert: there's still a long way to go) Guests include: Zorka Milin and Ian Gary of the Financial Accountability and Corporate Transparency Coalition, Cynthia O'Murchu Financial Times Investigative Reporter, Graham Barrow, financial crime sleuth and podcaster, the Dark Money Files, campaigner and author Oliver Bullough Hosted and produced by Naomi Fowler, co-produced by Leo Schick.

Royal Insider Deep Crown observed, “I've been observing Prince Harry's public appearances and demeanor closely over the past few years, and I can't help but notice a distinct pattern emerging.When he's at these carefully staged events with Meghan, whether it's a red carpet gala or a charity function, there's a certain stiffness to him. A sense of unease, like he's not quite sure how to navigate this new world he finds himself in. The smile doesn't quite reach his eyes, the laughter seems a bit forced. It's as if he's playing a role, one that doesn't come naturally to him.But then, every once in a while, we catch a glimpse of the old Harry. The cheeky, irreverent prince who wore his heart on his sleeve and never took himself too seriously. It's usually when he's out with his old friends, the ones who knew him long before he became the Duke of Sussex. There's a lightness to him in those moments, a sense of ease and camaraderie that's been missing from his public persona of late.Meghan is rarely, if ever, present during those candid moments. It's as if Harry can only truly be himself when he's away from the pressures and expectations of his new life. When he's just 'one of the lads,' free to let loose and enjoy himself without worrying about how it will be perceived by the media or the public.It's a telling dichotomy, and one that speaks volumes about the challenges Harry has faced in adapting to his new reality. He's a man torn between two worlds, struggling to find his place and his purpose. On the one hand, he's committed to his wife and the life they've built together, but on the other, there's a part of him that yearns for the simplicity and freedom of his old existence.Perhaps in time, Harry will find a way to reconcile these two aspects of himself. To be the devoted husband and father, the compassionate activist and philanthropist, while also holding onto the essence of who he's always been - the fun-loving, mischievous prince who captured the hearts of so many. But for now, it seems he's still grappling with that duality, and it's a struggle that plays out in the public eye, for all the world to see.Meghan recently announced her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, on social media. However, The Independent discovered that the UK website domain for the brand surprisingly leads to a foodbank instead of the expected lifestyle website.The '.com' website leads to a stylized page introducing Meghan's brand and features a waiting list for interested individuals to join.Curiously, the '.uk' domain for American Riviera Orchard directs visitors to a landing page for the Trussell Trust, a foodbank charity, and subsequently to a fundraiser. This unexpected redirection has raised questions about the brand's UK website and its connection to the charity. Harry has officially changed his country of residence from the United Kingdom to the United States in paperwork related toTravalyst. For the past four years, Harry had continued to list his country of residence as the U.K. in the documentation confirming his status as a "person with significant control" over Travalyst, holding 75 percent or more of the shares and voting rights. However, a recent filing at Britain's Companies House, seen by Newsweek, stated: "New Country/State Usually Resident: UNITED STATES."The change was made on June 29, 2023, the same day Buckingham Palace publicly confirmed that Harry and Meghan had officially moved out of Frogmore Cottage. The eviction notice was sent to the couple in January 2023, just days after the publication of Prince Harry's memoir, "Spare," which made numerous allegations against the royal family. Meghan and Harry recently experienced an "awkward" moment on camera during an event in Miami. The incident occurred when Meghan presented Harry with an award and then posed for a photo shoot with the Duke and others, which was captured by the couple's Netflix cameras for an upcoming show.

The A Better HR Business podcast looks at how consultants and tech firms in the broad Human Resources field grow their business; and how they help employers get the best out of their people. In this episode of A Better HR Business, we are kindly joined by Aimee Bateman, founder of the renowned career development platform Careercake. Aimee shares her extraordinary journey of building and scaling her business, from the early challenges of technology limitations to the successful sale of Careercake to SocialTalent. Her insights on creating valuable products and fostering strong relationships are inspiring. Aimee has spent 22 years in the career development space. A former recruiter who became a career performance coach and eventually the CEO of a venture-backed Edtech startup.  As a recruiter, she placed over 2,000 professionals in new roles before founding Careercake, an e-learning company that was voted the UK's No.1 career development platform. As the CEO, she defied the odds by securing VC and angel investments across two continents, despite operating in a landscape where less than 1% of funding goes to a female founder. Together with her team, Careercake scaled into 42 countries supporting companies such as Nationwide, Companies House and Tech Nation to up-skill their people. In 2022 Aimee sold Careercake to the fabulous hiring skills platform, SocialTalent, before exiting and giving birth just 30 days later. 10 million people have taken Aimee's professional development courses, including 3 million on LinkedIn Learning and she's been featured as a career expert on the BBC and Sky.  In a wide-ranging discussion on the podcast, Aimee and Ben talked about: ✅ How she started the business, Careercake (it wasn't about making money). ✅ How it turned into a business. ✅ Taking on VC money and angel investors. ✅ How and why the business pivoted when it wasn't working. ✅ The new direction takes off. ✅ Selling the business to SocialTalent. ✅ Aimee's not sure what she'll build next - how she's deciding what to do. ✅ And much more.
